That&#8217;s\nbecause there are so many health problems that are associated with low levels\nof testosterone. Low testosterone levels are also known to have detrimental\neffects on men&#8217;s sexual function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If\nyou&#8217;re not too concerned about developing testosterone-related osteoporosis, or\nlosing your libido, or developing erectile dysfunction, you should still worry\nabout low testosterone levels because research indicates that it can raise your\nrisks of dying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#4d0001;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>Low Testosterone in Men<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also referred to as \u201clow T,\u201d having\nlow levels of testosterone is very much prevalent in elderly men. Around 20% of\nmen in their 60s have low T, and the percentage increases in older age groups.\nNearly half of men in their 80s have low testosterone levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing about having low T is that\nyour sex life is greatly affected. When you&#8217;re still young, you don&#8217;t really\nworry about losing your ability to achieve erections or having a low libido.\nAnd you don&#8217;t really believe you&#8217;ll have those problems in your advanced years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The truth is that an active sex life\nand healthy sexuality are still important even for older men. And not being\nable to sexually perform anymore just because of low testosterone levels can\nhave a lot of negative psychological impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"man sexual problems\" class=\"wp-image-1468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-1-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Sexual satisfaction actually\ncontributes to the overall well-being of older adults, and not being able to\nenjoy that results in a significantly reduced sense of well-being, and it can\neven lead to depression. This is just one of the numerous reasons why you\nshould take care to maintain high testosterone levels even in your advanced\nyears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, low T also has several\nadverse effects on your health, regardless of your age. For instance, it can\nlead to weight gain due to increased body fat. It can also make you lose muscle\nmass and reduced energy. Additionally, it can also cause testosterone-related\nosteoporosis, which can make you more vulnerable to injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"banner vm-80\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-md-12 text-center\">\n            <figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/banner_award.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block banner_award\" alt=\"Money Back Guaranteed Male Enhancement Pills - Male UltraCore 2019 Award\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-md-6\"><figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/21c-box.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block\" alt=\"Not Sold At GNC Male UltraCore Box and Bottle\"><\/figure><\/figure><\/div>\n        <div>\n            <ul>\n                <li>100% Money Back<\/li>\n                <li>Free Rushed Shipping<\/li>\n                <li>Change Your Sex Life<\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n\n            <div class=\"text-center\">\n                <a href=\"\/order\" class=\"btn btn-order-now\">ORDER NOW<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n            <figure><figure><img src=\"\/images\/secure-logos2.png\" class=\"img-responsive center-block secure_logos\" alt=\"Not Sold At GNC Male UltraCore Secure Site Logos\"><\/figure><\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#4d0001;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>Low Testosterone and Risk of Death<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There have been numerous scientific\nstudies that investigated the relationship between having low levels of\ntestosterone and heart diseases. Researchers have also looked into the association\nbetween low T and the risk of death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One such study was conducted by\nresearchers from the University of California School of Medicine. The study\ninvolved close to 800 men whose testosterone levels were measured from\n1984-1987, with follow-up measurements conducted until 2004. During the\nfollow-up period, more than 500 deaths occurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The researchers found that men who had\ntotal testosterone levels lower than 241 ng\/dl were 40% more likely to die as\ncompared to those who had higher total testosterone levels. In addition, the\nauthors noted that having low testosterone levels is predictive of death due to\ncardiovascular and respiratory diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another study, the researchers\nnoted that men with low testosterone levels were more likely to die due to\nrespiratory, cardiovascular, and renal diseases, as well as cancer and type 2\ndiabetes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the researchers also\nnoted that there&#8217;s a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome, obesity,\ninflammatory disorders, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases among men\nwith low testosterone levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#4d0001;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>Low Testosterone Levels in Relation to\nSpecific Medical Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Low testosterone levels, when\naccompanied by certain medical conditions, can greatly increase your risks of\nmortality. For instance, a recent study published in the Journal of the\nEndocrine Society revealed that among men with metabolic syndrome, low\ntestosterone levels are closely tied to increased mortality risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among men on hemodialysis due to renal\nor kidney diseases, researchers found that having low testosterone levels can\nincrease overall mortality risk by as much as three times. On the other hand,\nfor men who have chronic kidney disease but are not on hemodialysis, increases\nin total testosterone levels can reduce risks of mortality by around 30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several studies have also validated\nthe relationship between low testosterone levels, erectile dysfunction, and\ncardiovascular diseases. It&#8217;s been shown that for men who had both erectile\ndysfunction and low T, their risks of death due to cardiovascular diseases were\nmuch higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"man having a heart attack\" class=\"wp-image-1467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Can-Low-Testosterone-Kill-You.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Low testosterone levels are closely\ntied to cardiovascular mortality. This means that if you have low T, you may\nhave a higher risk of dying due to coronary heart disease, heart failure,\nstroke, myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, thrombosis, and sudden cardiac\ndeath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the one hand, there are also many\nstudies that show the positive effects of testosterone treatment on risks of\nmortality. One study showed that getting testosterone treatment can lead to\naround 40% reduction in risks of death. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another study showed that in men with\nhypogonadism and type 2 diabetes, those who did not get testosterone treatment\nhad a higher mortality risk than those who received testosterone treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All these studies suggest that\nalthough having low testosterone levels does not cause death by itself, it can\nincrease your chances of dying if you&#8217;re also suffering from other medical\nconditions like heart diseases and renal diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"background-color:#4d0001;font-size:28px\" class=\"has-text-color has-background has-white-color\"><strong>Naturally Increasing Your Total Testosterone\nLevels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many studies showing that\nyou&#8217;re more likely to die if you have low testosterone levels, it becomes more\nnecessary for you to take steps to normalize your levels of testosterone. You\ncan definitely talk to your doctor about getting testosterone treatment, or you\ncan try various natural means to increase your total testosterone levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, you can try fenugreek,\nwhich is a healthful supplement that&#8217;s known for its anti-diabetic properties.\nFenugreek is also often used to help increase weight loss. More importantly,\nfenugreek also exhibits aromatase inhibitory properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What this means is that fenugreek can\nstop your free testosterone from getting converted to estrogen. This is why\nfenugreek is good for keeping your free testosterone levels high. And since it\nhelps you lose weight, that can also have positive effects on your total\ntestosterone levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from fenugreek, there are many\nother herbs that are scientifically recognized to have positive effects on men&#8217;s\ntestosterone levels. These include Tongkat Ali, Ashwagandha, and Tribulus\nterrestris. You can also try increasing your intake of zinc as this trace\nmineral is necessary for testosterone production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-1024x315.jpg\" alt=\"Risk Free 100 Percent Money Back Guaranteed Testosterone Booster Enhancement Supplements\" class=\"wp-image-1753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-1024x315.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-600x184.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-300x92.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills-768x236.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/risk-fre-100-percent-money-back-guaranteed-male-enhancement-pills.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\" class=\"btn btn-order-now\">LEARN MORE<\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although it&#8217;s considered a natural phenomenon that your testosterone levels decline as you advance in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"amp_validity":null,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1503"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3923,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1503\/revisions\/3923"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1469"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1503"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.maleultracore.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
